-A:  What you see in ED-ID is dependent on how you bind (anonymous, simple, SASL EXTERNAL) and the amount of privileges the bound user has. Connecting to ED-ID requires the use of TLS client certificate authentication, meaning you must have a signed certificate from the [[http://vtmwra.eprov.iad.vt.edu|Virgina Tech Middleware CA]] in order to connect. Users bound anonymously can only search on uupid and can only see the DN (distinguished name) of any user. Users that have performed a simple bind as themselves (PID/pass) can only see their own objectclass, uupid, uid, and eduPersonAffiliation(s). Users that have performed a SASL EXTERNAL bind can only see those attributes they have been approved to see (for all users), and only if the corresponding service is ACTIVE.+A:  What you see in ED-ID is dependent on how you bind (anonymous, simple, SASL EXTERNAL) and the amount of privileges the bound user has.
